Huntington Botanical Gardens

Click HERE to enter in my first giveaway! With fabulous prizes like Konad kit, Lush bath bombs, and more! Open to everyone!

Sorry for not posting for awhile. This week started off really promising but turned tragic real quick. But luckily al the drama has died down a bit...so back to blogging.

I was lucky to visit a semi-Los Angeles secret: Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens
Here are some pictures from my visit and an outfit of the day picture!





There are quite a few gardens at the Huntington (desert, jungle, Japanese, Chinese, Rose, Children) but I guess spring hasn't officially sprung as many of the trees & gardens were flowerless.

The Japanese and Chinese gardens were definitely the high point. The Japanese garden you may recognize from the movie Memoirs of a Geisha. It unfortunately is going to be closed for renovations until NEXT YEAR so I wanted to check it out before it closed.
The Chinese garden had a little restaurant where you can grab some not-so-authentic Chinese food and catch some gorgeous views of the giant pond with bridges & San Gabriel mountains.

As for what I'm wearing?
Polka dot top: Marshalls (its supposed to be a dress? but its kind of short and see through)
blazer: Forever 21 (lined REALLY weird. not sold anymore...)
boots: Marshalls (bought on sale for $15! Great buy although I did have to buy a size larger than I normally wear. Socks are my bffs with these boots!)

I want to try to incorporate more of LA and food into my blogs. I want this blog have more dimensions and aspects to it. I hope you guys don't mind :)

Cheers!

cute! I love the polka dot dress and the blazer looks great with it. I always love wearing blazers over my dresses. The gardens look beautiful. I always like to go to the Japanese gardens in different cities. It's always so interesting to explore.
